Details
       I am so pleased to invite you to Camp Cate on June 11-13, 2010! Classes ending in 0 and 5 will be celebrating their reunions, but we encourage ALL alumni to return and enjoy the splendor of the Mesa.
 
       Regardless of the last time you visited Cate, the natural setting of the School still provides the indescribable peace and relaxation you experienced as a student. Camp Cate is an ideal time to visit the School; why not share it with your spouse, friends, and children? Take advantage of the many activities offered such as surfing, tennis, or the ropes course. Relax by the pool, participate in a book discussion, or listen to the alumni jam session. Most importantly, Camp Cate gives you the unique opportunity to catch up with classmates and friends—some of whom you may not have seen since graduating!
 
       We are looking forward to welcoming you back to the Mesa in June!

Servons,

Hallie Preston
Director of Alumni Relations
